Brake assist systems
Information regarding brake assist systems
Brake assist systems can help the driver in critical
driving or braking situations. The driver is responsible
for driving safely ÿ .
Fig. 175 In the infotainment system: display of the
park exit assistant.
When the relevant brake assist system regulates,
continue to brake hard enough and, if necessary,
control the trajectory of the vehicle.
The park exit assistant works with radar sensors mounted
in the rear bumper.
WARNING
The system detects objects approaching or moving from
behind or from the sides ÿ fig. 174 and warns the driver
of possible obstacles ÿ .
The intelligent technology of brake assist systems
cannot overcome the limits imposed by the laws of
physics and only works within the limits of the systems.
Driving at high speed on icy, slippery or wet roads can
cause loss of vehicle control and serious injury to the
driver and passengers.
If there is an obstacle, a warning signal sounds.
Depending on the equipment, the obstacle area is
displayed in color in the infotainment system ÿ fig. 175
or a warning or control lamp is displayed with a
message in the instrument panel.
· Always adapt your speed and driving style to the
visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Never take any risk that compromises safety.

— ESC, ABS and ASR can only work properly if all
four wheels have the intended tires ÿ .
Particularities in case of towing a trailer
The park exit assist is deactivated if the factory-fitted
towing hitch is electrically connected to a trailer.
— If there is a fault in the ABS, the ESC, ASR and EDS
also stop working.
When the ignition is switched on, the status of the
braking functions is automatically checked. The control
indicators light up briefly and go out again. If any control
indicator remains on, there is a fault. Immediately go to
a suitably qualified specialist workshop.
